Vision: EE looking forward“Preparing our students for the Data-Intensive World”

Systems Level and Multidisciplinary Experiences: • Curriculum that brings together skill sets in digital hardware, analog hardware and software from early classes and gives immersive experiences later in the curriculum (beyond traditional senior project experiences).• Incorporate more project based activities earlierinto the curriculum while maintaining rigorousLaboratory experiences. The project-based activitiesshould include digital, analog and software elements.• Incorporate elements of Machine Learning intoexisting courses and add technical electives.Continued transformation from Analog to Digital:Markets/Applications continue the transformation from analog to digital: audio, video, signal processing, imagingcontrol systems, communications, autonomous systems. EEneeds to track these changes.Improved Software Skills: Easily accessible software curriculum in any quarter that works into the EE student’s schedule.

-Enhance Power and Energy Curriculum and Labswith microgrid project, industrial controls and associated course upgrades. REC solar project completion.

-Increase the number of Grad Students coming infrom other institutions to utilize our great curriculumand labs (this would apply to all EE sub-disciplines butWe have a clear competitive advantage in Power and Energy).

“Once in a lifetime opportunity for re-making our Energy Systems Infrastructure”

“Give students more opportunity to customizetheir coursework and career interests at the B.S. Level”

-Free up at least four more technical elective units.-Add options to free up electives (e.g.choose 2 out of 3)-Provide better guidance on how to customize an EESpecialization from our broad area of topics.

“Upgrade graduate course offerings and research to reflect current needs/trends for our graduate students and industry”

“Promote an Inclusive Environment”

Massive Number of Internet of Things (IOT) Sensors are coming on line. Vehicles, Smart Cities, Remote Sensing, Homes, biologic sensors etc. A wealth of data is generated and then you need to process it to make good decisions – See Block On data for betterDecisions.

Massive shift in energy productionand distribution toward renewables

Increased use of ElectricEnergy Sources for vehicles

The World is reducing dependency onfossil fuels and moving toward renewableenergy sources. This will requirea re-design of our electric powerdelivery system with distributedgeneration, energy storage,microgrid networks andElectric Vehicle charging stations everywhere. Smart Cities andEnergy efficient construction willAlso be major trends. Our curriculumand Research activity with students needs to move with these

major shifts.
